NOTICE: Patrilineal (direct male
line) descendants of Peter CARRICO I are participating in the CARRICO
Y-chromosome DNA Surname Project. They match at high levels,
proving they descend from a near common ancestor. If you are a male
CARRICO and are a known or suspected patrilineal descent of our subject,
you can now prove it with a DNA test.

Although some secondary sources (e.g., files at WorldConnect)
show these parents for our subject:
Father: Pero
Dias CARRICOMother: Isabel
LIMAthere is no proof of the connection.

Many secondary sources give Peter's birthplace as France (or Normandy,
France). There is no indication whatsoever of Peter's birthplace
in any primary record, so the "French connection" is a myth. Orthographically,
the name appears most likely to be Portuguese, but phonetically similar
surnames are Spanish (CARRICA, CARACO) or Italian (CARICO, CARACO).
Any of these origins would be consistent with our subject's DNA haplogroup
subclade (see Figure
2, Map E, for current distribution of J-M67).

Marriage: in or aft. 1681

Wife: Ms. __?__

80 (online in the Archives of the CARRICO-L mailing list at RootsWeb.com):

15 June 1674Came Samuel Dobson of Charles County and proved his right to six
hundred and fifty acres of land for transporting John Daniels, Roger Roberts,
Thomas Thompson, John Tibbot, Alexander Seasor(?), Samuel Lee, Henry Keeling,
Ralph Givin(?), William Marsh, George Sutton, John Dorrinton, Peter
Curricoe, and Mary Cooke into this province to inhabit.

17 June 1674Warrant then granted to said Samuel Dobson for six hundred and
fifty acres for transporting the thirteen above mentioned persons into
this providence to inhabit in Anno 1674.Certified the 17th of September 1674.

It has been assumed that Peter was an adult when he was transported,
but I'm not certain that assumption can be made. Peter was granted
50 acres of land in 1681, the standard grant after serving out a service
contract, so I think we can be certain he was an adult at that time.
It's unlikely that he married while still indentured, so it's probably
safe to assume he married in or after 1681.

A tradition, stoutly asserted by some Carrico descendants, is that
an earlier Peter Carrico, father of Peter and Abel, came to the Colonies
under the auspices of the second Lord Baltimore.

Saying that Peter came to the Colonies "under the auspices" of Lord
Baltimore is a bit of snobbery. The earlier Peter, who did exist,
arrived in Maryland as an indentured servant, which would have placed him
socially so far beneath Lord Baltimore that Peter would have been unknown
to him.
